About

I’m the Co-Founder & CEO of Lucid Financials, building the first Agentic AI for real-time financials for small and medium businesses in the U.S. As a repeat founder, I’ve led ventures backed by top accelerators, investors and programs including 8200 Fintech Runway, Meta AI Innovation, Mamram Space, Tampa Bay Wave, TAU Ventures, and Antler. Before Lucid, I founded multiple ventures in the US, UK and Israel. My foundation comes from serving in Israel’s elite computing units (Mamram/Ofek 324), where I built mission-critical infrastructure for the Air Force, including systems tied to the Iron Dome. That experience drives how I approach scaling resilient, high-impact technology companies today.
